Sailun Tire Update

[Canyonlight]

Jim - my apologies - so many of us just continue to take your thread off course.......first time this has ever happened and I am sure it is my first time !

Bottom line is do what you are comfortable with. If you want to run at max pressure, please do. If you want to balance load & pressure then do that. To each his own and good luck to all.

Now lets get back to Sailuns and how they are doing. Mine are still running strong and I haven't heard of a failure yet.

I've had 2 Saulins tire failures within a year. I have TPMS system an never gave any warning before it happened on second failure I just happened to look in mirror an seen it coming apart then the TPMS started beeping. I check tire pressures before starting every time an also do a visual whenever we stop.

Yikes, that's not good news!

Which size tire? Were both failures on the same side?

Thanks to the comments in this thread and others here on the forum I just ordered 5 Sailun 235/85R16's for our 337. Ordered yesterday, tracker says they'll be here tomorrow.

Ordered my Sailun 235/80R16's Monday and received them Thursday from Simple Tire. They will go on next Wednesday when I have the brakes done on my Solitude 366DEN.

Any reason I can't put the Sailun 235/85R16 on the 16 x 6 Jaguar wheels that came with my 337RLS? I didn't see any max pressure markings on the wheel when I had it off but wouldn't think it would be a problem. I will use metal valve stems.

Disregard - I did a better search and found the answer. Max pressure is a function of the valve stem.

Max pressure is a function of the weight rating on the rim. Also, for high pressure (110 psi) tires you must have metal valve stems.

Were these G Load Rated Tires?
